There's very little to comment on in this well-written article on a species of fungus. I've added a caption to a painted illustration.

I am not sure if a citation is needed for the mention of Saccardo.

A Finnish name is given ... in English. Perhaps the Finnish should be stated also.

Finnish name not in source....I have had other reviewers question my foreign names before and had to remove... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:19, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In principle we should always back up claims with facts, including actual words used, even if only in a footnote.

The full Latin name is repeated several times, and abbreviated to C. caperatus only in the Radioactivity paragraph. Perhaps some of the earlier mentions should also be abbreviated, or indeed replaced with the English name.

yeah this was a hangover from times past when I was told mention at start of para should be unabbreviated, but more recently I looked and looked and could not find anything online that supported this...changed now. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:19, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the caption "A plate of collected mushrooms" should be extended to "A plate of collected mushrooms on display in Prague", or something similar.

That's fine for GA then. Hope you'll review one or two from the GAN queue! Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:10, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
